LEITIS IN WAITING

As part of our Pacific Showcase in collaboration with the Pacific Islanders in Communication, join us as we celebrate the Oakland premiere of LEITIS IN WAITING. Co-directed by Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, Joe Wilson, and CAAMFest alum Dean Hamer, this award winning documentary tells the story of Tonga’s evolving approach to gender fluidity through a character-driven portrait of the most prominent leiti in the kingdom, Joey Joleen Mataele, a devout Catholic of royal descent.
